A Soul Care Meditation: A Holy Breathing Forward, A Spring Blessing - Autism Acceptance Edition

Today, we contemplate the holy journey we've traveled together as we officially wrap up our Autism Series Edition this April, while our neurodivergent ARTvocacy continues in the peace + play of reorienting ourselves in revolutionary soul care.
Over these past weeks, we've explored the divine dimensions of honoring our holy neurology, culminating in our four-part exploration of ruach—that holy breath that sustains all creation—ourselves included.
As we close this chapter, we recognize that every ending is also a beginning—a fresh inhale after a complete exhale. Living as a neurodivergent soul, particularly being #actuallyautistic is not linear but spirals like the breath itself—expanding, contracting, deepening with each cycle.
In our series, we've honored the profound gifts + unique challenges of the autistic experience, all while affirming that neurodivergence is not a deviation from the divine design but an essential expression of it. The same Ruach that hovered over creation's waters continues to move through each of us, breathing life + purpose into our unique neurological landscapes.
As we conclude, remember...
That your story continues beyond these words. Your sacred breath, your stimming, your sensory experiences—all are pathways to divine connection that remain open long after this series ends.
A Blessing - Holy Breathing Forward
May you find sanctuary in the rhythm of your breath when the world becomes too much or not enough.
May you always remember that you were breathed into being with divine intentionality—not as an afterthought but as an embodied expression of the Beloved's creative diversity.
May you live forward from this place of irrevocable belonging, breathing the breath of the One who made you precisely as you are.
Amen + Asé
